To tell you the truth, I don't know how much I plan to get for them. I was looking at ebay, and their major released go for 10-15 regularly, so I could only assume their first two EPs would make a bit more.

I am just waiting for them to come out with a new cd, then I will sell them during the whole Get Up Kids' hyping bullshit. I will walk away with a pretty penny, that is for sure.

I am thinking more and more about this, and it will be tougher to sell than I thought. See, their old record label realized that these are in high demand, and well, have been pressing these fuckers like mad as of late. I do have the originals, but still, it's a bitch.

no the get up kids weren't a screamo band. and four minute mile sounds raw because they recorded the album in like 8 hours. imagine those songs if they were recorded properly.... they'd be even more godly....

duh, screamo? that was the stupidest comment i've ever read.

i love the get up kids, reggie and the full effect, and the new amsterdams. in fact, i am wearing my get up kids shirt today, which just may be the coolest shirt EVER, because it has pandas on it. and the get up kids kick ass. that is all.
don't look now, just keep watching the TV hating what's too see waiting for someone to say something that's right.

how was it a stupid comment? i heard someone on a message board say something along the lines of "TGUK used to be a screamo band back before they were signed" so i was wondering if it was true. I didnt once imply that the get up kids are anything close to screamo, it was just a question.

and if you have a problem with the word "screamo", tone the elitist remarks down a bit. call music what you want, just dont act like you know everything.

I won't act like I know everything, if you don't act like you don't know anything. :P

messing. I just hate labels, especially retarded ones like "screamo."

and the get up kids are a great band so please ignore labels and listen to them. thanks.
